Political thawts

1. I've always wanted to be one of those people that got called in the opinion polling. It has never happened. Until tonight. When it happened twice in the space of thirty minutes.

2. Martha Coakley has to be a defense attorney's dream. She sounds like the automated voice from my computer reading text. Makes W seem eloquent. Or coherent.

3. I'd like to extend congratulations to Sen. Ted Kennedy on his 6 months of sobriety.

4. There is a Republican going to the senate from Massachusetts? What on earth? Have the Cubs won the world series? What's going on here?

5. Watching Keith Olbermann tonight is like Christmas morning. Only better.
